Should Eritrea Pursue Legal Action Against Ethiopia for 30 Years of Illegal Annexation?

Should Eritrea Pursue Legal Action Against Ethiopia for 30 Years of Illegal Annexation?



(EP) - Should Eritrea take Abiy Ahmed’s government to an International Court of Justice? Well, Eritrea has clear legal grounds for the case and can demonstrate that the annexation violated international law and subsequent actions.

For context, Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie annexed Eritrea in 1962, an act widely considered illegal and in violation of the UN-sponsored federal arrangement that had been in place since 1952.

After 30 years of fierce struggle, Eritreans bravely ousted the Ethiopian administration in 1991, defeating the largest army in Sub-Saharan Africa, which had been armed and supported by the “mighty” Soviet Union's communist government.

Eritrea has never considered legal action, because it did not want to further strain relations with its neighbour.

Mind you, deciding whether Eritrea should take Ethiopia to an international court would require careful consideration of the legal, diplomatic, and political implications, along with a thorough assessment of the potential benefits and drawbacks.

However, there is a leadership in Ethiopia that does not care about its neighbours, does not respect the international rule of law, and intends to annex its neighbour’s’ sovereign territory.

Should we take the Beshasha individual’s government to The Hague, or should we choose not to take action against our southern مسكين (miskin) neighbour for the poor judgment of one man in Addis?

Hell yes. I said this here over 6 years ago, but nobody listened to me, but it's better late than never. My Eritrea must sue uk for forcing us Eritreans to be federated with their dead house niggger shitttopia and for stealing our wealth and giving it to their house niggger shittopia as well. My Eritrea must stop being nice all the time.

Actually, such demand was considered by some Eritreans. Come to think of it, it certainly makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, however, the Eritrean government decided to “let bygones be bygones” because Ethiopia was too poor and dependent on foreign aid to offer any war damage compensation to Eritrea. That was and remains a noble act of benevolence to the people and the government that are our neighbors. That was my personal stand, too. However, after seeing and witnessing some irresponsible Ethiopian regimes trying to milk Eritrea without being grateful to us, I wonder if such a kind jester by our government to various Ethiopian governments that seem to be totally irresponsible and greedy to even consider of compensatory payment to the Eritrean people that were the victims of Ethiopian irresponsible mass destruction of the Eritrean people and their live stocks. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Eritrea should definitely take the case to the international court to demand at least $50 billion dollars in restitution. Under international law, annexation is considered illegal because it violates the territorial integrity and political independence of a state. A ruling in favor of Eritrea will definitely set precedent for future cases involving the illegal occupation and annexation of sovereign nations. Let's do it! 8) 8)

Moreover, Eritrea should demand compensation for the tens of thousands of innocent Eritreans massacred by the savage armies of Hailesellasie and the Derg.

For the fact that the dirty poor and cancerous Ethiopia is unable to pay restitutions for its decades long crimes inside Eritrea (illegal annexation) it is no use to sue it.
What we should do is destroy Ethiopia completely. An eye for an eye. I mean 1000 Ethiopian rats to the ratio of one Eritrean eye.
This rats infested country doesn’t play fair with rules of law and old habits are tough to change and the envy these 120 million rats have on Eritrea is not going to go away.
So a complete destruction as far as divide it into 10 mini states is the way to go.
The name ETHIOPIA should be erased and those mini states can have their own mini names.
This dirty poor country paying restitutions to Eritrea while it is unable to pay the interests of its foreign loans is mission impossible.
But that should not make us forget its sins and we should completely destroy it.

We will offer Ethiopia a payment plan (installment agreement) spread out over 50 years at $1 Billion dollars a year. In the event Ethiopia does not have enough money to make payments, we will accept raw materials such as gold, coffee beans, and other commodities in exchange for cash.
